Posing at a bridge X70 f5.6 1/500 ISO200

Took this one with my X70 on a mountain top in Corfu.

I did use the search engine and while those links discuss both shadow and HDR, I still found it hard to understand how they differ from a technical pov. Just explaining what each does, is something I would do on an exam, where I don't realy grasp the subject in depth and just repeat what I've red in my textbook without linking the two together.

This might be a very stupid question, but what's the difference between dynamic range and the shadow settings?

I have an 135mm Minolta lens that has just the same problem and it's never been cleaned with anything.

I've seen a store in Belgium that has it for sale. But I don't think they'll ship to germany.

What you can turn on and off for the OVF can be found here. http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x100t/menu_shooting/disp_custom_setting/index.html The list seems shorter than what I can do with my X-pro2, so perhaps it's not complete.

Pulled the trigger and got an X-pro2 with 35mm. Love it to bits, and most important I don't think it's better or worse than my X70, each has its right of existance. Still finding the best settings to shoot. You'd expect them to be the same as on the X70, but for instance colors feel more saturated standard. Next challenge is to find something to put in when taking it with me.

Just to be clear, I'm not planning on selling my X70. The x-pro2 would be an addition.

This is first post ever on this forum. I'm a person who does not have big photography aspirations, but I do enjoy shooting pictures occasionaly. 90% of the time to capture moments in my personal life. Before I got my Fujifilm camera I shot mainly with my iPhone and Minolta XG-2. In february I bought an X70, an impulse decision the day before I left on vacation. I knew about the X70 long before, but I was turned away by the lack of VF and how it's not Fuji's most succesfull camera. I did and still like the image quality, compactness, ergonomics and lens. And the JPEGs, the main reason I ignored any other camera, it had to be a Fuji. I don't want to postprocess my pictures. Fastforward to today, I sometimes miss being able to shoot a longer lens. A 45mm equivalent (I love that lens on my XG-2) lens and a longer one. I also have the WCL-X70, great addition to my X70, but a 1.6 times conversion lens doesn't exist because it would be ungainly large on the X70. The X-PRO2 caught my eye. I like the WS , optical VF (I don't like a EVFs, my eyes find them "odd"), 24mp sensor, the film simulations... Of course I would go for the 35mm lens (50mm equivalent). But should I buy it? It's a lot of money for a camera and my main question is: would I use it enough? My doubts are about the size and lens. The size; on paper it's about the same as my XG-2, but it looks a lot bulkier. How pocketable is it?Is it a camera you take with you easily? Lens: the 35mm F2.0, aside from portraits, how much overlap does it have with the 18mm from the X70? (may sound like a strange question, but if I have the 35mm in my hand I obviously don't have the x70 with me. Would I find the lack of wide angle anoying?) I don't think there is a correct answer to my questions, but any insight from you, more experienced users, would be appreciated.
